What are the biggest casting mistakes in Indian Film History?

 • Bhumi Padnekar in Bala

They literally gave her brown face when they could've hired someone with deeper skintone (Radhika Apte or someone new)

• Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3

Personally, I think Hrithik Roshan as lead opposite Katrina in Dhoom 3 would have been a far better casting choice. The circus artist angle especially, Hrithik's physicality & performance range would have made that character so much more believable and visually stunning.

• Alia Bhatt in Brahmastra

The film was already bad, but Alia and Ranbir's pairing made it worse. No chemistry whatsoever, it looked forced and cringe throughout. Kesariya deserved better. Put Deepika or Katrina in that song opposite Ranbir and it would have been a completely different experience.

• Anushka Sharma in Zero

She was completely unconvincing here, easily the worst performance of her career.

•Arjun Kapoor in Panipat

Bro had exactly one expression throughout the entire film 😭

•In the end, Adipurush

If was a casting disaster from top to bottom, there wasn't one role that felt good
